Episode description
As a pastor, James Howell has worked with many community members suffering from dementia. Today's guest has a particularly close experience with this often misunderstood disease. Leading theologian Bishop Kenneth Carder's wife Linda bravely battled with dementia before passing away.
In today's episode of Maybe I'm Amazed, James and Kenneth talk about how theology views dementia, why the disease didn't change who Linda was in God's eyes, why no loving act goes to waste, and how an old pocket knife helps Bishop Carder keep it all in perspective.
Today's episode is a republication of a Wednesday Bible Study session. To watch these chats live, log onto the Facebook page of Myers Park United Methodist Church every Wednesday at 11 a.m. or 8 p.m.
